+Yorick is an interpreted language and is useful for scientific
+computing and numerical analysis. It is similar to Matlab.
+
+It can also do interactive graphics package via the X window system,
+including x-y plots, quadrilateral meshes, and cell arrays, and
+includes tools to assist making animated and simple 3D graphs.
+
+Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point formats
+foreign to the machine where Yorick is running.
+
+A library of functions written in the Yorick language, including
+Bessel, gamma, and related functions, multiple key sorting, spline,
+rational function, and least squares fitting, and routines to read and
+write netCDF files.
